This week I was joined by my friend and fellow blogger, Amanda Clark of Cuisine And Screen. We met two years ago at Fire in the Triad and became fast friends. It was SO much fun having her on set and getting SPICY with our tacos.

I'm wearing the SAME dress in this week's show! Ha!

I honestly believe this is the best $20 Challenge episode yet. I felt like I was in my element and my personality really came through. I have to admit: while I was cooking, I had no idea of what I was saying. I hoped it translated to camera and thankfully, it did! Watch it below or by clicking this link!

I always try to keep the $20 Challenge recipes simple, easy and kid-friendly. This week was no exception and I managed to save a little over $4 which could be used to purchase taco shells and additional garnish not sold at the market.

Put all ingredients in a resealable plastic bag and release all excess air OR a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap, pressing it against the surface to eliminate excess air. Marinate steak for 10 minutes up to 12 hours in refrigerator.

Heat grill or stove on high.

Heat grill pan or cast-iron skillet over high heat. Use a scant 1/2 teaspoon of oil on the pan. Sear on one side until golden brown and slightly charred, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the steak over and cook to medium-rare doneness, about 3 to 4 minutes longer. Let rest 5 minutes then slice against the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices.

Fill each tortilla with 3 to 4 pieces of meat, tomato salsa, Greek yogurt, cheese and any other condiments you like.
